PIEDMONT
Piedmont enjoys an unrivaled seat among the world's very finest wine regions. Located in northwest Italy it is the home of more DOCG wines than any other Italian region, among them such well known and respected names as Barolo, Barbaresco, and Barbera d'Asti.
Although famous for its austere, tannic, and floral red wines made from Nebbiolo, Piedmont's greatest success story in the past decade has been sweet, white, sparkling Moscato d'Asti. Besides the high reputation in wine production, there is much more to discover in the Piedmont wine region and it should be at the top of your travel list in Italy, especially if you are food and wine lover.
